Featured events
The Mairie de Monaco announced its summer program yesterday and you can find all the event basics on maBoum's musical Mairie summer listing. We're looking forward to the musical fireworks competition, the Fete de la Musique, and the Monaco Ville Festival. We're also intrigued to find out just how it's possible to hold wresting matches on water, so are planning a visit to the Stade Nautique on 19th August to find out.
For lots more suggestions, visit maBoum's 7 day listing and enjoy your weekend.
